Why an AED is valuable:

Ambulances can't always get there in time

✤ Even in metro areas, response times can stretch. In regional and remote areas, delays are common. An AED bridges that gap.

Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone

✤ It’s not just older adults. Stress, exertion, underlying conditions, and even random electrical faults in the heart can affect people of all ages.

Public‑facing businesses carry extra responsibility

✤ If customers, students, members, or visitors come through your doors, your duty of care increases, and so does the likelihood of an incident.

AEDs are simple, safe, and designed for everyday people

✤ They won’t shock unless it’s needed. They guide you step‑by‑step. They’re built for high‑stress moments.

They show your team and community you genuinely care

✤ An AED is a visible commitment to safety, wellbeing, and preparedness. It builds trust and confidence.

AEDs can be expensive. The cost depends on the type, brand, and features, but most new AEDs for public or personal use range roughly from $1,200 to $2,500 or more.

There are basically two types: 

🟢 Fully Automatic AEDs

• Automatically deliver a shock if needed without the user pressing a button.

• Best for untrained rescuers or high‑stress situations.

• Slightly more expensive due to added safety and automation tech.

Pros:
✔ Easiest to use
✔ Best for bystanders with no training
✔ Fewer steps under stress

Cons:
✖ Slightly higher cost

🔵 Semi‑Automatic AEDs

• The device analyzes the rhythm and, if a shock is advised, prompts the user to press a button to deliver it.

• Still guides the user with voice and visual instructions.

Pros:
✔ Often less expensive than fully automatic
✔ User retains control over shock delivery
✔ Excellent choice for trained volunteers or workplaces

Cons:
✖ Requires one extra action from the rescuer

With the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest being below 10%, it’s clear how crucial it is to have AEDs available in the places where we live, work, and play. Equally important, however, is having a maintenance plan to ensure that every AED is ready to use when it’s needed most.

There are several key reasons to regularly check your AEDs:

Reliability in an emergency: During a cardiac arrest, every second counts. It would be tragic if an AED were present but not functional when someone’s life depended on it. Regular checks ensure the device is ready for immediate use.

Early identification of issues: Routine maintenance allows you to spot potential problems early and contact the manufacturer if any questions or concerns arise, helping prevent failures before they happen.

By implementing a consistent maintenance plan, you ensure that your AEDs are always prepared to save lives.

AEDs are designed to make life‑or‑death decisions quickly and reliably. They are made from medical grade equipment and contain:

• Sophisticated sensors to read heart rhythms

• Built‑in decision algorithms

• Durable, ruggedized casings

• Battery and pad readiness monitoring

All of this adds to the manufacturing cost.
